Godspeed Sen. McCain on your fight against cancer. [View all]

I hate that filthy fucking disease with every fiber of my being. I have lost too many family members and friends to it over the years.

If we would spend just half as much on medical research to cure cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and other killer diseases instead of billions and trillions on the military and military adventures we would be more in line with the civilized countries of this earth.

I served for 8 years in the USAF during the Vietnam conflict, so I just cannot suffer these fools who are so gung-ho to start yet another war in some godforsaken place just so the criminal captains of industry can make even more dirty money.
